Thanks for your suggestions Adam.

I did more testing using btape. Even with a brand new tape the "label"
command worked but "readlabel" immediately afterwards failed with a BB02
error.

I also noticed tapes labelled with Bacula 7.4.5 would "readlabel" fine,
but those labelled using 9.2.2 would fail "readlabel".

After using btape to write EOF markers to a new tape it caused
subsequent btape commands to reject the tape as read-only.

Next I tried a package update (Arch Linux pacman -Syu) and reboot. This
resolved all issues! This server is kept up-to-date, so the only change
of significance was a new kernel version (4.19.12).

To be able to utilise the problematic tapes labelled by Bacula 9.2.2 I
used btape "rewind", made a 100 MB file (using yes) and cat > /dev/nst0.
This allowed btape "test" to succeed. Next I used bconsole to "purge"
then "relabel" to a temporary name then another "purge" and final
"relabel" to reflect the barcode name. The result is Bacula 9.4.1
rewrote the tape labels and properly report the volbytes in "list
volumes" (I initially used "delete", "label" and "add", but the volbytes
report as zero).

Anyhow thanks again for your suggestions. It's great to have Bacula
working again.

[Bacula-users] Volume data error at 0:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded.

[Ben Alex]

I used Bacula 7.4.5 successfully for around 2 years with an IBM
ULTRIUM-HH7 SAS drive and FlexStor II autoloader (Neoseries) on Arch
Linux. Backups and restores worked perfectly.

Last month I upgraded to Bacula 9.2.2. Backups worked without error but
I noticed "list volumes" reporting a 25 TB volume (not 6 TB as usual). A
subsequent test restore failed due to a volume data error.

I followed the Bacula troubleshooting web page [1], trying mt defblksize
0 then a btape test. This reported the same error.

Downgrading back to Bacula 7.4.5 did not resolve the issue.

I upgraded to Bacula 9.4.1 but the issue remains.

A log of the commands and configuration is below.

Any suggestions on what to try next much appreciated. Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Backups Crossing Versions

[Alex Brandt]

Hey,

I'm assuming the answer will be to stop mixing versions but I have to ask if 
it's possible to backup bacula-fd-7.x from a bacula-dir-5.x and bacula-sd-5.x.  
I receive messages about the password being wrong (when the same configuration 
works under bacula-fd-5.x) but I assume that's due to a change in the password 
handling mechanism of bacula.  Are these assumptions correct or is there 
anyway to accomplish this type of backup?

Thanks,

Re: [Bacula-users] Do TLS options work without openssl configuration during installation?

[Alex Domoradov]

But at the same time it seems that openssl enabled by default at least if
the bacula can find headers and libraries

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/bacula-7.4.0 --with-postgresql=/usr/pgsql-9.4/
--with-mysql --enable-acl --with-tcp-wrappers --with-sqlite3
...

   Large file support:   yes
   Bacula conio support:  yes -ltinfo
   readline support: no
   TCP Wrappers support: yes -lwrap
*   TLS support:  yes*
   Encryption support:   yes
   ZLIB support: yes
   LZO support:  yes


So I think you should use option --with-openssl only if you have installed
openssl from source

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula version 7.2.0 released

I have been waiting this feature for a few years. And finally I got it.
Thanks a lot!

 Hello,

 Our Bacula Systems gnome gurus have been working hard in the Swiss
 mountains, and their work is now released as Bacula version 7.2.0.  You
 can find the source code at Source Forge as usual.

 This version has quite a number of difficult and important bug fixes
 over version 7.0.5 as well as a good number of new features.  I won't
 attempt to list all the new features here, but suggest that you look at
 the New Features chapter of the manual.  Please note that there may be a
 few new features documented in the 7.2. section of the manual that were
 actually in 7.0.5 -- I just ran out of time at the end, so rather than
 miss a feature, I took the risk to include some already released.

 This version has not been tested in production yet, so please test it
 carefully.  That said, it is largely based on Bacula Enterprise version
 8.2, which is extremely stable and it also has a number of fixes and
 features from the next, yet unreleased, Enterprise version as well as
 *all* the Enterprise bug fixes.

 For certain of the new features, and a couple more yet to come, this
 version has a new catalog layout, which means that you must do a catalog
 upgrade (it is relatively simple).  As always, please backup your
 database prior to applying the upgrade procedure.

 Previously we supplied an update script for only one version.  To avoid
 the proliferation of upgrade scripts in the future, we have settled on a
 single script (update_bacula_tables), which will upgrade from version
 3.0.x to version 5.2.x (same as 7.0.x) and to the new 7.2.0 format.  So
 the procedure much simpler.
 As soon as we can update the bacula.org web site to have a sort of more
 automated download area, we will move our source release to the
 bacula.org web site and begin furnishing binaries.

 Many thanks to Bacula Systems for providing the bug fixes and new
 features.  Since the development process in Bacula Systems is going
 faster (more programmers), we can expect even more features in future
 versions.

 You may notice a few license/copyright changes, but these are all very
 positive for the community version and its future. I will go into it in
 more detail on this point in a Status Report that will follow this
 announcement in a few days.

 Thanks for using Bacula.

 Best regards,
 Kern

Re: [Bacula-users] bsmtp failing to connect to mail server

[Alex Domoradov]

If you don't want change/configure postfix - I may suggest to use swaks.
It's a perl script which has a lot of functionality. I'm using the
following command with nagios without any problem

/usr/bin/printf %b $MESSAGE\n | /usr/bin/swaks -4 --server
smtp.googlemail.com:587 --from $USER3$ --to $CONTACTEMAIL$ -tls --auth
PLAIN --auth-user $USER3$ --auth-password $USER4$ --h-Subject $SUBJ
--body - --hide-all

 Send-only postfix setup that also accepts mail on 127.0.0.1:

   /etc/postfix/main.cf:

 myorigin = $mydomain
 inet_interfaces = localhost
 inet_protocols = ipv4
 mydestination =
 relayhost = $mydomain
 local_transport = error:local mail delivery is disabled

 -- change myorigin and relayhost as appropriate. Plus,

   /etc/postfix/master.cf:

 #local unix  -   n   n   -   -   local

 (i.e. the local line commented out).

 Make sure iptables isn't blocking port 25 on localhost.

 To test:

 telnet localhost 25

 -- if you get connected and 220 code from postfix you should be good
 to go. Note that sending mail from command line is not a useful test
 since it doesn't necessarily work the same way. It's calling the
 sendmail binary directly instead of talking to the server on port 25.

 And then there's gmail. It delivers some messages to all mail instead
 of inbox, messages whose From and To addresses are the same just vanish,
 and so on. So check the postfix log after running a test job: it may
 well be there's nothing wrong with your bsmtp or postfix config.

You could find out with which version of mysql client has been compiled

libmysqlclient.so.18 = /lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18
(0x7f07abe3d000)

 Most important of all is to know what MySQL / MariaDB development

 1. Is your remote MySQL server version the same installed in your Bacula

 2. From your Bacula server can you telnet ip_address 3306 your MySQL
 server?
 3. Do you have selinux or iptables enabled at MySQL Server? Someone
 wrote that never had problems with selinux. Neither do I, since I always
 disable it. =)

 Just ignore 2 and 3. I forgot you can connect with calling the client
 directly.


 Any more ideas?

 Compressing data on the client means fewer bytes to send over the wire.
 Block-level compression like bzip2 tends to be completely cpu-bound and
 anything bigger than a cellphone tends to have plenty of cycles to spare.


 Not entirely true and certainly not accurate for Gb/s and faster links.

 Individual CPU cores haven't changed much in terms of speed for nearly a
 decade and most compression algorithms are single threaded when fed from
 stdin (even pigz and pbzip). On top of that you're facing memory - CPU
 bottlenecks.

 The result when running gzip compression over a 1Gb/s link is that you'll
 usually achieve a maximum end-to-end rate of 30MB/s, vs the wire speed of
 110MB/s ( b = bit, B=BYTE, aka o = octet if you're french )

 bzip is significantly worse. Even LZO gives little gain at 1Gb/s in
 exchange for making your CPU run hot and drawing more power than you need
 to.

 At 10Gb/s, LZO is a significant bottleneck.


 The takeaway: Unless you're backing up over a WAN (and a slow or
 overloaded one at that), wireside compression is not a net win.

 We have 300 people on our campus linking to the main site at 1Gb/s and
 whilst backing up machines on the main site to our satellite one we still
 achieve faster backups without compression than with it.


 The other side of compression is that it's a huge CPU drain. I already
 have enough problems with people rebooting windows systems mid-backup
 without adding even more incentive for them to hit the Big Red Button.

  I'm currently testing Bacula 7.0.5 before deploying it into a production

 the

  I set the document root to the directory that I have baculum in:
  /var/www/baculum.  After unpacking it there I changed the ownership
  recursively the www-data:www-data on that directory.
 
  The other thing I've seen suggested to resolve this is to enable mod

Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to send mail with mutt as mailcommand

[Alex Domoradov]

You can use swaks to send emails with ssl/tls. It's a very useful command
line utility which I have used with nagios

/usr/bin/printf $MESSAGE$ | /usr/bin/swaks -4 --server
smtp.googlemail.com:587 --from no-re...@example.net --to
nagios-ad...@example.net -tls --auth PLAIN --auth-user no-re...@example.net
--auth-password 7654321 --h-Subject $SUBJECT$ --body - --hide-all

The other way is to setup stunnel, if your command line utility doesn't
support ssl/tls, but email server require it.

  When I run mutt on the command line it proceeds and I am able to

  I am using tls for postfix but this should be no issue as I can
  run the above mailcommand from the command line and receive an
  email.
 
  Using bsmtp (Unable to send because I need to run through tls)
  will produce an erroneous entry in the maillog file.
 
  I am stumped on how to debug further to determine where the mail
  is being caught up at. It seems to have to be something on
  bacula's end.
 
  Any help would be appreciated.
 
  Hi Kelvin,
 
  I would first check to see what user that the bacula-dir daemon is
  running as:
 
 # ps axuf | grep bacula-dir
 
  On some distributions, the director runs as user bacula, on
  others (like Gentoo) it runs as user root. The director does not
  need to run as root, but some distributions package Bacula so that
  it does.
 
  You are pointing mutt to a config file in the root user's home
  directory, perhaps mutt, running as bacula when called by the
  director simply can not read the config file and exits?
 
 
  Bill

 From your slightly obscured configuration, I'm assuming that you're
 trying to deliver the mail directly from bacula to your remote mail
 server, not localhost, which is why you have the bsmtp/TLS issue. I
 believe that if you use the default Bacula bsmtp setup to deliver to
 localhost and then alias the recipient off (with an entry in
 /etc/aliases) you should be ok. That approach will invoke the
 (postfix) MTA -- which will handle TLS just fine. [and avoids the
 issue of trying to configure a different mailer.] E.g.,

   mailcommand = /usr/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f ...

   mail = user@localhost = all, !skipped
   operator = user@localhost = mount

 which is the default Bacula configuration and what I use on my
 centos box.

Re: [Bacula-users] client/server passwords

[Alex Domoradov]

 I'd say your initial tls overhead was due to slow cipher
it's very strange as I have a fastest CPU on both of sides

storage: Intel Xeon CPU E3-1245 V2 @ 3.40GHz
client: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

And as I can see in the top output the CPU is not bottleneck at all, imho

On the storage I'm using the following filesystem

/dev/sda5 on /data type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)

# cd /data
# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.file bs=8192 count=100 oflag=direct
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
819200 bytes (8.2 GB) copied, 65.5126 s, 125 MB/s

 Yeah, OK. I see thing like

  1-May 20:05 starfish-sd JobId 7: Committing spooled data to Volume
 BMRB-0001. Despooling 54,630,677 bytes ...
  11-May 20:05 starfish-sd JobId 7: Despooling elapsed time = 00:00:01,
 Transfer rate = 54.63 M Bytes/second
  11-May 20:05 starfish-sd JobId 7: Elapsed time=00:00:08, Transfer
 rate=6.791 M Bytes/second

 in the log and I've no idea what any of it means: the spool is a
 mirrored ssd so 6.791 M Bytes/second is not the disk write speed. The
 54.63 M Bytes/second just means I despooled everything I had in a
 second or less. On large sets where it despools the entire 50GB file
 volume, reported ssd to spinning rust speed is

  12-May 00:29 starfish-sd JobId 13: Writing spooled data to Volume.
 Despooling 49,807,364,491 bytes ...
  12-May 00:31 starfish-sd JobId 13: End of medium on Volume BMRB-0002

  12-May 00:31 starfish-sd JobId 13: Despooling elapsed time = 00:02:26,
 Transfer rate = 341.1 M Bytes/second

 -- that does sound reasonable.

 Anyway, I'd say your initial tls overhead was due to slow cipher and you
 shouldn't have a problem setting things up so that encryption overhead
 is masked out by the storage write speed or the rate the clients can
 produce the data or whatever the current bottleneck is.

 Run openssl speed then run with e.g. ciphers = md2 on both

minutes :)

Re: [Bacula-users] confused about differentials

[Alex Domoradov]

 so it should be relatively easy to build a new CentOS 7 machine to get
5.2.13.
I'm using 5.2.13 on CentOS 6 form the following repo -
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/ without any problem.
So you could try it.

 wrote:

 why does the subsequent differential not appear to include any of them,
 given that it's supposed to be backing up everything changed since the last
 full dump (in my case, on 2015-04-19) ?


 Well, it should. A differential backup level is backing up everything
 which was modified (or deleted when using accurate backup mode) since last
 full backup level.


 Thanks for the confirmation.

 The director is running on a CentOS 6 system and claims to be Bacula
 5.0.0. The client is CentOS 7 and Bacula 5.2.x, but looking at the jobs for
 other systems they also seem to have inconsistencies like this.


 It is unsupported configuration. Your any client (Bacula FD) version
 shouldn't be a newest version then Director/Storage.

 This could be a core problem in your case.


 I appear to be seeing the same problem with CentOS 6 / CentOS 6
 combinations:

 |  9,931 | srv-c601-backup | 2015-05-01 23:32:01 | B| I |   90
 |  12,990,648 | T |
 |  9,940 | srv-c601-backup | 2015-05-02 23:08:27 | B| I |3,877
 |  50,585,887 | T |
 |  9,949 | srv-c601-backup | 2015-05-03 23:08:56 | B| I |  101
 |  13,051,119 | T |
 |  9,958 | srv-c601-backup | 2015-05-04 23:09:04 | B| D |   87
 |  13,025,155 | T |

 So the relative age of the Director and FD does not appear to be a factor.

 Restoring the most recent full dump, the most recent differential and all
 subsequent incrementals definitely leaves a lot of files off the table.
 I've had a bit more success by restoring from all the jobs available in
 order, but unfortunately some of the earlier incrementals have been
 recycled so the data unique to them appears to be lost.


 If you want to restore a recent backup of the client then you should use a
 p.5 of the restore command: 5: Select the most recent backup for a client.
 Then Bacula will compound a set of required jobs for you.


 That's what I tried at first, as described in the paragraph you quoted; it
 left files out as described. Including all the available incrementals and
 differentials got me close enough to get the system back to functionality
 after a lot of yum reinstall to fill in missing system files. Fortunately
 the system was a relatively new one, and I keep a copy of /etc/ in Git as
 well.

 First - UPGRADE YOUR BACULA DIRECTOR/STORAGE! it is more then 5 years
 old!!! :)


 The headline version of packages shipped with enterprise distributions is
 often pretty ancient, that's the tradeoff you pay for stability.

 I take your point, though, that the Director/SD should not be older than
 the clients, so I need to fix that. Fortunately the (virtual) machine
 running the Director and Storage daemons is dedicated to that task, so it
 should be relatively easy to build a new CentOS 7 machine to get 5.2.13.

 I don't think I actually have a version mismatch problem (as I'm seeing
 the same issue with matched versions), but there are all sorts of reasons
 this might make my problem go away: there may be a bug in the version of
 5.0 shipped with RHEL/CentOS, or I may have a configuration problem. Either
 way, starting from scratch and transitioning clients over may help.

 In the meanwhile, I'll probably just stop using differentials.

 Thanks,

 In the description of the RunScript directive I read that you can

 But when you do it, in which order are the different Commands executed?
 Are they executed in random order, maybe even simultaneously?
 Or are they executed in the order in which they are written in the

 Hi Craig,

 Keep in mind that all of the actual backup data and other communications
 is
 unencrypted unless TLS between daemons is configured in Bacula: DIR-SD,
 DIR-FD, FD-SD, bconsole-DIR, (and SD-FD in the case of SD calls
 Client)

 One simple method to encrypt communications between daemons is to use an
 excellent open-source tool called stunnel (documented in the Bacula
 misc.pdf
 manual)

 Depending on your requirements, stunnel, a VPN (IPsec, OpenVPN or other),
 ssh
 tunnels, or a full-blown TLS deployment are all possible options to secure
 Bacula's daemon--daemon communications.

 Some are more complex and time consuming to implement than others, but
 may be
 more (verifiably) secure, so these considerations need to be a part of the
 requirements discussion. :)

 Yes. You have to encrypt everything on one end and decrypt on the other.
 Despite what tls preachers tell us, encryption is not zero-cost. (The
 exact cost depends you your cpus, load, on both ends, the algorithm and
 key, etc.) Encrypting an http transaction typically adds microseconds to
 a second-long page loads so you don't notice. En/decrypting .7TB stream
 you'll notice very much.

 Considering all the effort various 3-letter entities (isp, nsa, etc.)
 are putting into tls proxies to effectively MITM tls connections, tls
 encryption is or will soon be pointless even for sensitive data that's
 worth encrypting. If your data isn't that sensitive, you're just wasting
 time.

 1. Aligned Volumes -- special patented volume format that optimizes

 2. Global End Point Deduplication -- build-in Bacula deduplication in

 It is possible that the Aligned Volume plugin binary will be available

Many thanks for the data point! When we use Bacula (not just btape) with
larger block sizes (512 KB), our backups abort when bacula fails to read the
tape's header block.

I notice you have IBM drives. Maybe the block size limitation (for some
reason or other) shows just up on HP drives? Our prior IBM LTO-4 drives also
worked quite nicely with larger blocks.



Hi,

I'm using an HP MSL4048 with 1M blocks and backups are working fine.

Cheers

 Hi,

 all the Run-statements execute what is defined directly, without a

 something like this:

 ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'echo foo /tmp/foo.out'
 Thank you, this does it. One related question: is because I have a few
 commands to run, is there a way to make the commands split across
 several lines (for readability) ?

 e.g.

 ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'command one
command two'

 doesn't seem to work.

 Hi,

 It works for me. Did you try to use semicolon character for separate
 elementary commands?

 Example:

 ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'echo aaa /tmp/foo1.out; echo bbb
  /tmp/foo2.out'
Hi gani,
It works with ; like you mentioned above but I was asking about
splitting the command across multiple lines in the configuration file --
when there are many commands it would make it easier to read.

Thank you,
Alex

 Personally I would still prefer a script in the client.
 On my setups I use the opposite. If you need to add a line to the
 script, you need to copy the same script over all the clients. With
 multiple lines, maybe you can change just one line in the Job
 Definition.

 Don't know how many you have in your backup infrastructure, but that's
 not feasible at all in our setup; especially because the clients and
 daemons are separated by firewalls and do not allow easy copying
 everywhere.
Thank you everybody for your answers,
I now use ; to separate shell commands on one line and if I reach the
limit then add more ClientRunBefore commands.
As mentioned by Simone, it's not easy to deploy scripts to 100s of
machines, so... :)

 If you want to call a script, you'd have to define the absolute path or
 a relative one from the executing daemon's working directory.

[Bacula-users] Multi-stream data transfer

[Alex Lucas]

Dears,

Is there a way to setup multi-stream data transfer?

/Background/: The backup is disk to disk over a dedicated WAN 2M link.
We have tested the link with iperf and can get maximum speed out of it
(when using 10 concurrent connections). Our current bacula fd--sd
speed is averaging at 1Mbps (only about half of the available
bandwidth). Tried compression on/off - no noticeable difference. Note:
speed of backup observed with mrtg, iptraf, dstat etc.

 I wonder if you could configure two separate jobs and connect to the
 same FD twice?
Only 1 big file is being backed up so splitting the job is not possible
(also checked disk performance on FD, can read the file at 100MB/s). Is
there not an option in Bacula for FD to create multiple TCP streams to
SD (instead of 1) ?

Failed incrementals should not prevent restore.

 I have a strange phenomenon: though there is definitely a full backup, a
 job set to incremental claims there weren’t and wants to run a full backup.
 Very unfortunate, as the tapes needed are not in place. Any idea how I could
 find out what went wrong?

 Did you modify the job or fileset since the last full backup?

[Bacula-users] Partial FileSet encryption

[Alex Lucas]

Greetings,

The docs seem to be conflicting about data encryption with Bacula.

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION001813
Here there is a mention that it should be possible to encrypt at the
FileSet level (allowing one to choose what to encrypt and what not to).

While here
(http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Data_Encryption.html)
it seems to be on a client (FD) level, i.e. all or nothing.

Please clarify.

Best regards,
Alex

 Is it possible they are talking about an upcoming feature or maybe in the 
 enterprise edition or undocumented?
Perhaps, I somehow remember reading about this issue on a third party
website but cannot find the article anymore.


 I can't find the word encryption on the Configuring_Director.html page 
 anywhere but in one place.  However, I look all through the FileSet options 
 and don't see anything about encryption.
Yes, exactly.
/The FileSet Resource/
The FileSet resource defines what files are to be included or excluded
in a backup job various backup options such as compression,
/encryption/, and signatures that are to be applied to each file.
Compression -- true, but as for encryption.

 This started happening recently:
 I run a job and it finishes. Can see it in list jobs and related volume

 I then run another job in 2 minutes -- the volume from the first job
 gets auto-pruned!

 All my retentions are set to 90 days (file, job and volume) and I have
 not changed them since beginning.
 Is it definitely 90 days and not 90 seconds? :-)
Yes, 90 days :)
I figured out why it was purging -- every time one or more of previous
jobs had 0 files in the last incremental (i.e. no changes) Bacula
would auto-purge the volume(s) in catalog (we have one job per volume).

[Bacula-users] One Volume per Backup Job

[Alex Lucas]

Dears,

I was trying to get one volume per job with this pool configuration:

Pool {
  Name = File
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no   # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes# Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 90 days # how long to keep volumes
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G  # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1# One job per volume
  LabelFormat =
${Client}_${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${Hour:p/2/0/r}h${Minute:p/2/0/r}m_${Level:o0-4:l}
  Next Pool = VirtualFull
}

It works well for jobs that complete successfully - volumes get created
properly and get marked as Used open backup completion. However there
are 2 problems when jobs fail:

Example: I run job for JKT-nvr but the fd on it is not running - I get
job timeout but the following entry in 'list volumes':
| 1050| JKT-nvr-fd_2012-05-10_15h35m_full | Append| 1  
| 0  | 0| 7776000  | 0   | 0| 0 |
File  | 0   |

Next time I run a job (does not matter with which client) director will
try to use the volume above instead of creating a brand new one. Even if
I re-run the previous job for the same client I would like it to create
a new volume (since date/time are also in the LabelFormat).

How to archive one of the following for failed backup jobs:
a) mark auto-created volume as Used, OR
b) delete the auto-created volume


Best regards,
Alex

[Bacula-users] Why all my volumes get marked as purged??

[Alex Lucas]

Dears,

This started happening recently:
I run a job and it finishes. Can see it in list jobs and related volume
in list volumes.
I then run another job in 2 minutes -- the volume from the first job
gets auto-pruned!

All my retentions are set to 90 days (file, job and volume) and I have
not changed them since beginning.

Regards,
Alex

 It will do that because there is an available volume in the pool so it
 need not create a new one. Also remember changing the pool definition
 in bacula-dir.conf will only effect new volumes not existing volumes.
 The pool resource is a template on how to create new volumes.
Yes, this is clear.

 How to archive one of the following for failed backup jobs:
 a) mark auto-created volume as Used, OR
 b) delete the auto-created volume

 Just mark the existing volume Used or Full.
How to do this? I tried RunAfterFailedJob just but %v variable is empty
on failed jobs even though the volume does get created and left in the
Append state. This is not a bug?

Re: [Bacula-users] Types of backup clarifications needed

[Alex Lucas]

Could you please provide a link to the most up to date page/doc about
VirtualFull (including setup instructions).

RE the Since type of backup -- if not implemented it should be hidden,
no? :)

A related question:
We have a large mail server to backup and full backup is too long hence
there is a need for reverse-incremental backup: full backup runs only
once and next backups are merged into the full backup (sounds like
Virtual so far) but we would like to remove old increments (lets say
retention is 60 days) without removing the original full. How can this
be done with Bacula?
The problem with VirtualFull is that it cannot be used as a base for
next incremental (unless I am wrong?)

Regards,
Alex

 The Since level is not actually implemented.

 Openssl compresses _if_ compiled with zlib (it usually is)

 It's not hard to test, write to a file instead of tape media and compare
 size vs a tarball.

 If you are using a LTO device with built-in encryption then it's much
 faster as there is a dedicated engine for the task (LTO encryption is
 posrtable across drives as long as the key is retained)

 On that basis I'd only use bacula encryption for disk-based backups or
 on tape devices without builtin encyption.




Alan,

We tried removing the compression on some jobs, and we got a great speed 
boost. However, the SSL compression was either absent or minimal, even 
though OpenSSL libs are compiled with zlib:

[root@backup ~]# ldd /usr/lib/libssl3.so
 linux-gate.so.1 =  (0xe000)
 libnss3.so = /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0xf7e6b000)

 libplds4.so = /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xf7e4a000)
 libnspr4.so = /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xf7e1)

 libz.so.1 = /lib/libz.so.1 (0xf7c86000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a5e000)

Any ideas why compression in OpenSSL does not seem to be working?

Re: [Bacula-users] Multi-cores compression

[Alex Crow]

 What about when you are encrypting? You have to do the compression in
 Bacula as once you've encrypted the data it can no longer be compressed
 by the drive (eg for LTO  LTO4 where the drive cannot encrypt.)

 Encryption programs generally compress as well in order to increase 
 entropy - so any external compression routines will just make things 
 slower for no gain.


Thanks Alan,

I am specifically addressing the encryption support within Bacula:

http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Data_Encryption.html

Does this pre-compress the data, thus rendering the separate compression 
redundant? If so, it would be great and probably save us loads of time 
(about 1 week to back up about 18TB).

Cheers

Alex

Re: [Bacula-users] Disk backup strategy advice / help

[Alex Ehrlich]

Hello,

I have managed my offsite backup setup so that only bacula volumes get 
rsync-ed and it works fine for half a year. Total backup size is about 
500Gb, nightly amount of data rsync-ed is between 1 and 10Gb (so my home 
adsl connection with 10Mbit/s downstream is OK to keep offsite backups 
at home).
This is in an assumption that you need offsite backup only when you've 
totally lost onsite one. In this case bacula server has to be 
restored/reinstalled first (or better in advance, to be able to test 
restoration) and database has to be restored before using offsite backup.
Additionally I encrypt the bacula volumes on the fly while remotely 
rsync-ing them (on the fly by means of fuse encfs).

Regards,

Alex Ehrlich

Re: [Bacula-users] HW crypto offload

[Alex Crow]

 If it is supported in any way, I'd be happy to know. If not, what would
 be the best way about getting it implemented?
 I'd want to be pretty sure its going to help before doing this. On my
 (somewhat aged) development machine, OpenSSL can do AES-128 CBC at 55
 MB/s (bytes, not bits), so it doesn;t sound like crypto is necessarily
 your bottleneck.

 Also, crypto accelerators rarely do in my experience.


Ben,

CPU is:

model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU   E5540  @ 2.53GHz

We run 4 backup threads and get 4 cores doing 100% each, still we're 
only getting the 80 Megabits.

Here's the part of the bacula-fd.conf that is relevant:

FileDaemon {
 Name = backup-fd
 FDport = 9102
 WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
 Pid Directory = /var/run
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
 FDAddress = 127.0.0.1

 PKI Signatures = Yes
 PKI Encryption = Yes
 PKI Keypair = /etc/bacula/keys/bacula-fd.pem
 PKI Master Key = /etc/bacula/keys/master.cert
}

Here's an example job spec:

Job {
 Name = ias
 JobDefs = Standard
 Schedule = With-Basejobs
 FileSet = ias
 Accurate = yes
 Base = ias-base
}

Job {
 Name = ias-base
 Level = Base
 JobDefs = Standard
 FileSet = ias
 Schedule = Update-Basejobs
 Accurate = yes
}

FileSet {
 Name = ias
 Include {
 Options {
 BaseJob  = pmugcs5
 Accurate = mcs5
 Verify   = pin5
 signature = MD5
 compression=GZIP
 }
 File = /nas/ias
 }
 Exclude {
 File = /nas/exclude
 }
}

Storage def from bacula-dir.conf:

Storage {
 Name = Tandberg
 Address = 127.0.0.1
 SDPort = 9103
 Password = e3Ci8AxSF2ewxzX2VgaU
 Device = Tandberg
 Autochanger = yes
 Media Type = LTO3
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
 AllowCompression = yes
}

Devices in bacula-sd.conf:

Autochanger {
 Name = Tandberg
 Device = IBM0, IBM1
 Changer Device = /dev/sg6
 Changer Command = /usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
}

Device {
 Name = IBM0
 Drive Index = 0
 Media Type = LTO3
 Archive Device = /dev/st0
 AutomaticMount = yes;
 AlwaysOpen = yes;
 RemovableMedia = yes;
 RandomAccess = no;
 Autochanger = yes;
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
 Spool Directory = /opt/spool/ibm0
}

Device {
 Name = IBM1
 Drive Index = 1
 Media Type = LTO3
 Archive Device = /dev/st1
 AutomaticMount = yes;
 AlwaysOpen = yes;
 RemovableMedia = yes;
 RandomAccess = no;
 Autochanger = yes;
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
 Spool Directory = /opt/spool/ibm1
}

Could it be the compression=GZIP in the job defs that is slowing 
things down?

I really should get my colleague to join this as he's the one that set 
this up.

Cheers

Alex

[Bacula-users] HW crypto offload

[Alex Crow]

Hi,

We have set up a backup server that uses encryption in the File Daemon. 
However we find it is really slow, in fact we are only getting about 
80Mbps (megabits, not -bytes) throughput while running 4 backup threads. 
This is backing up from an NFS-connected disk backup host that can 
easily saturate a 1Gbps link when I just dd the contents of a large file 
to /dev/null on the backup server. It's actually taking us nearly a week 
now to do a fortnightly backup of 16TB.

I've noticed that crypto cards from Exar are supported by OpenSSL and 
seen to provide support for AES-CBC. From a previous message on this list:

http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2010-04/msg00232.html

it seems someone looked at patching to support offload, however I cannot 
find any outcome from this.

If it is supported in any way, I'd be happy to know. If not, what would 
be the best way about getting it implemented?

Best regards

Alex

Re: [Bacula-users] Error writing final EOF to tape LTO-5

[Alex Chekholko]

The errors below are just straight I/O errors from the underlying 
device.  Nothing to do with Bacula.  So check if those two tapes are 
bad.  Check if that drive needs cleaning.  Run drive diagnostics on that 
drive.  See if you can reproduce the problem with just, say, tar of some 
files to a known-good tape in that drive.  If you can reproduce the 
problem, open a ticket with Dell.

Re: [Bacula-users] Speed of backups

[Alex Chekholko]

Try changing your Maximum Network Buffer size in your bacula-sd config.

Something like
  Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144 #65536
  Maximum block size = 262144

Keep in mind that this will make your sd unable to read previous 
backups, IIRC.

Search archives for this parameter, e.g.
http://old.nabble.com/LTO-4-performance--td17407840.html

 I hope someone can give me some advices to enhance the performance of

[Bacula-users] Lost in config files, I give up, no idea where to change or where is a mistake

[Alex]

Hello bacula experts,

I'm new here and have some problems configuring bacula to perform the correct 
job for me.

- I have 2 computers: dev13.mydoom.com and mail.mydoom.com
- on dev13, I want to backup entire content of /usr/local/Zend directory 
located on mail.mydoom.com
- on dev13, all backups will reside on /var/bacula/bacula-restores directory

So, on server (dev13) I installed bacula-mysql-5.0.3-1 and on client (mail) I 
installed only bacula-client-5.0.3-1

When try to backup I receive error saying that /usr/local/Zend directory does 
not exist on dev13.mydoom.com! This is normal because /usr/local/Zend exist 
only on mail.mydoom.com.

So, my question is: What file and where exactly IS REQUIRED to modify? I am 
lost in configuration files and directives ...


Here comes my config files:

On mail.mydoom.com (client) machine:

[r...@mail bacula]# ls
bacula-fd.conf  bconsole.conf

 Here you're saying that the Address of your mail system is, infact, your
 dev13 system. Which is incorrect. Don't forget that the Name parameter
 can be anything to easily identify the client; but the Address must
 resolve to the IP address of the client system. For example:

 Client {
Name = Mail System
Address = mail.mydoom.com
 ...

 The second error you've received indicates that at least Bacula has
 attempted to contact the client, so you're one step further forward. The
 problem there could be a mismatched password or possibly a firewall issue.
 If you can telnet to the mail.mydoom.com on port 9102 then the port is open
 and it's most likely a password mismatch.


Seems to be booth! I've corrected firewall issue and now I can telnet from 
dev13 to mail.

Dave,

Indeed now is a password problem. I can see in logs:

12-Dec 20:40 dev13.mydoom.com-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate
with File daemon at mail.mydoom.com:9102. Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).

Could you tell me please where is required to modify password)? On 
dev13.mydoom.com, on mail or on booth. In which file: bacula-fd (on booth 
equipments) or on bacula-dir file on dev13.mydoom.com plus on bacula-fd on 
mail? In which section?

  equipments) or on bacula-dir file on dev13.mydoom.com plus on bacula-fd
  on mail? In which section?

 The short version:
 As a general rule, each password used by Bacula is defined twice, at
 source and at destination.  For instance, each client's password is
 defined in the bacula-fd.conf file on the client, and in the
 corresponding Client record in the Director's configuration.  Both
 definitions must match.

 For a hypothetical example, in the Director configuration::

 Client {
   Name = MyClient
   Address = myclient.mydomain.net
   Password = Here Is A Password Involving Llamas
   ...
 }

 And on the corresponding client:

 #
 # List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
 #
 Director {
   Name = MyDirector
   Password = Here Is A Password Involving Llamas
 }

 So, the Director knows it is to contact the client at that address,
 using that password; and the client knows it is to accept connections
 from that director, using that same password.  Both the Director and the
 client have to know which password is to be used to authenticate between
 them.


Crystal clear explanation. I've adjusted in bacula-dir config file, Client {} 
section, password to match within bacula-fd file, Director {} section located 
in mail.mydoom.com password and now is working.

Another interesting thing from your explanation: server (dev13) is ALWAYS the 
one responsible to intiate (--syn) a new connection to client (mail) and not 
the client as in general things are working in a normal relation 
client-server!

Thanks for help.

Alx

[Bacula-users] unwanted fullbackup

[Alex Huth]

Hello!

We have a timetable for the backups, where we do fullbackups on the 1st
sunday, differentials on the other sundays and incremental on each other
day.

on 07.11 (1st Sunday) bacula did a fullbackup like expected. Next monday
a incremental like expected. On the following tuesday bacula made
a fullbackup instead of the incremental, because he didn´t find a prior 
fullbackup in the catalog.

The fullbackup on the 7th was the second fullback. The first one was the
initial fullbackup after the setup and start with bacula.

Where do i have to search for the problem?

Thx in advance

Alex

 Bacula relies heavily on your clock being correct. 
 If your clock went backwards since it did the first full, it won't be able to
 find the first full.
 
 Also, if your retention for your first full has expired, it will purge it
 even though another backup depends on it existing.
 So perhaps your retention for your first full was too low.
 
This is the part of the config. For me it looks ok, or? The plan was to
have three sets of fullbackups.

 Hmmm... it never occurred to me before but mucking around with the clock on 
 your director could seriously mess with your day! Advancing the clock by one

 In theory if the Pool File Retention is set then the Client File Retention is
 ignored.  However, the code is broken in 5.0.3 so it doesn't always work like
 that.
 
 It doesn't matter though, because File Retention will never cause it to
 promote an incremental to a full (it just prevents restore from selecting
 files).  Only Job Retention, Volume Retention or explicit purge/delete will
 cause jobs to be removed from the catalog.
 
 Is the original full still in the catalog (use list jobs)?
 
 Did you change the fileset definition at all sinze the original full?
 
Yes, i can see all jobs in the catalog and the fileset definition hasn
changed.
I did some testing before i used it since 27.20 (first initial
fullbackup) as a productive tool. Before i switched from testing to
production, i deleted all tables and databases in mysql and started from
scratch with the configs used during testing.

I have a similar problem here. The difference is that it is no duplicate
job. The fullbackup was running as scheduled on 07.11 (first sunday).
I didn see any error in the job. This night doing a incremental, bacula
tolds me that there is no prior full backup in the catalog.

But yesterday night the incremental was running without error.

Which problem can this be? If this happens every day, my SAN will be out
of space within a few days.

[Bacula-users] Permission denied on several files

[Alex Huth]

Hello!

I have problems during a backup of only one client. There is
a permission denied on files which are only readable for root, like
/boot/backup_mbr or /boot/grub/menu.lst.

The files appear in the list of files to restore, but when i do
a restore they have 0 byte.

The permission denied errors appear only when doing a fullbackup, not in
a incremental.

On all other clients (same OS) with the same Clientconfiguration it
works. So, where is the point i am missing?


THX in advance

 a restore they have 0 byte.
 
 The permission denied errors appear only when doing a fullbackup, not in
 a incremental.
 
 On all other clients (same OS) with the same Clientconfiguration it
 works. So, where is the point i am missing?

Problem solved! There was a error in the client configuration. I had not
changed the name for the messaging director. This leads to this strange
behaviour.

[Bacula-users] New start from scratch

[Alex Huth]

Hello!

After a period of testing i want to use bacula now for production level.
I thought it would be enough to drop the database in mysql and remove
the metadata and the working dir. But after creating the database and
tables again, i see in the status of a client the old backups.

Where have i missed something to get a clear start?

Thanks in advance!

 Hi,
 
 I'm currently backing up several workstations using bacula and everything is 
 working fine. Thanks to this forum a lot of problems have been sorted out.
 
 Does anybody know if its possible to exclude files by their size?
 I want to exclude vm hard disk images. Excluding them by wildfile the usual 
 file endings is not the problem. But at some places vm images are stored in 
 compressed zip archives. I don't want to exclude all zip archives in general
 but lets say *.zip  10GB.
 

There's no easy way to do that.  You'll want to generate a list of the files 
you don't want to back up, and feed that list to the Exclude directive of the 
job.

You can either use the previous backup jobs to generate the list, or do a find 
on those workstations.

If you are running Linux, you probably want to use the tc command to

[Bacula-users] Explanation of periods

[Alex Huth]

Hello!

I want to be sure if have understand the periods and there relationship
to a possible restore.

The file retention period define the possibility to restore files over
the given period. If i have the following schedule, how do i have to set
the retention periods to have always two full sets of data?

Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = LEVEL=Full 1st sun at 0:30
Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 0:30
Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 0:30
}

I use diskbased storage with three different pools.

Full-Pool   file retention 2 month
job retention  4 month
volume retention 2 month
maximum volumes 3

Diff-Pool   file retention 40 days
job retention  2 month
volume retention 40 days
maximum volumes 11

Inc-Poolfile retention 14 days
job retention  1 month
volume retention 14 days
maximum volumes 9


Is this the correct way?

THX in advance

 Before I do, I'd like to know what effect this has on restoring from backups

 need to modify the Device configuration back to it's default setting to be 
 able to restore from those tapes, or will 
 Bacula figure out what it needs to do?
 

I believe it is the former.

I did same thing (upped 'Maximum Block Size for LTO-4 performance) but
didn't test any restores from the tapes written with the old block

I have solved the problems:

1. The permissions on the configs are wrong, must be set to bacula
2. When you use mysql, you have to change the string in
make_catalog_backup.pl from dbcheck to dbcheck.mysql
3. In the bacula-dir.conf execute the make_catalog_backup.pl as user
bacula

Hope that helps, for everyone using the OpenSuSE/SLES11 rpm!

Re: [Bacula-users] [Newbie] Differences to Amanda

[Alex Chekholko]

On Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:46:38 +0100
Rory Campbell-Lange r...@campbell-lange.net wrote:

 We are presently trying to use Amanda to write 7-10TB of data from one
 server to an LTO4 tape library. We are frustrated with problems in
 retrieving files from the second tape onwards. Amanda seems to suffer
 from an intrinsic problem about knowing where to find a file from the
 backup set, which is frustrating the process of resolving this problem
 as the whole backup has to be dumped to disk to try and find the file.
 
 Consequently we are considering moving to Bacula. The integration with
 Postgres and python sounds very good to us.
 
 I'd be grateful to know if the Bacula catalogue records allow Bacula to
 more rapidly restore data from large tape sets by understanding which
 tape it is stored upon.


Restoring particular files is quite easy in Bacula because that
information is stored in the database.  So it knows where to find which
file on the tapes.  

If the database is not available (e.g. you've pruned the file entries
or your database server failed), then you can scan the tapes and build
the database.  This does take longer and has more steps. 

 I'd also be grateful for comments on how to best deal with an
 environment where the main storage server will act as Bacula Director,
 Client and Storage, and in an environment with only ssh access to a
 shell console.

That is my environment as well, I only use bconsole, and my tape
library is attached to a machine which NFS mounts all of the stuff that
needs to be backed up.  And the database daemon is local there as
well.  The main thing is to have enough hardware performance to handle
the DB workload and the tape streaming, etc.  I have the DB on
dedicated spindles and then also a large spool area where files get
staged before getting written to tape.

 
 A final question about the on-tape format:
 We chose Amanda originally because we could cite it as using an open
 standard which would allow people to easily restore data in 15 years'
 time assuming the tapes hadn't become corrupt. I understand that Bacula
 uses its own tape format and that over time, this has changed.


The format is documented and the utilities required to read/write it
are Free Software.  So it's equivalent to, say, GNU tar.


Set it up and try it out!  I think you will find it easier than Amanda.

3. Drop the database
4. Delete the files in working and the volumes in storage
5. create database
6. make table
7. grant privileges
8. restart services

When  i connect with the bconsole and call the status, i can see all
jobs i have done so far. What is missing to start from scratch?

 Hey,
 
 I was wondering if there is a way to tell bacula not to ask the oldest tape
 it wrote on..
 
 I mean, when a tape is pruned, it's status come to Recycle. Is there a way
 to put all the status tape to recycle (those who the retention is over, that
 means they could be pruned), and not only the oldest one ?
 
 Why.. ?
 
 Because I'm using 20 tapes, but every twenty days (one tape per day), one
 tape goes to the bank. I take a new tape and the cycle goes on during twenty
 days etc..
 
 The problème is, if I put a tape in the bank, 19 days later Bacula will ask
 me THIS special tape, which is not available (cause in the bank..).
 
 Is there a solution for this problem or it is inherent to the way Bacula
 actually works ?

Your description is a bit confusing.

Are these tapes all in the same pool?  What is the retention period?

Read up on the retention periods for files, jobs, volumes.

Do you do an update slots after you remove the tape?  Bacula
shouldn't ask for a tape that's not available.

bacula and the fd deamon as root/wheel. Now i have created a bacula
user, but how can i make the two daemons run as bacula?

Also i can´t connect with the bconsole. I have set all passwords in the
conf files. When i use bconsole it does nothing on the console.

How can i solve this two problems?

 Hello!
 
 I have installed Bacula on SLES 11 using the SLES 11/RPM provided by
 OpenSuSE. The RPM´s didn´t create a bacula user and the daemons all run
 as root.
 On a FreeBSD machine running bacula i see the dir/sd daemon running as
 bacula and the fd deamon as root/wheel. Now i have created a bacula
 user, but how can i make the two daemons run as bacula?
 
 Also i can´t connect with the bconsole. I have set all passwords in the
 conf files. When i use bconsole it does nothing on the console.
 
 How can i solve this two problems?

I have solved one problem. In all configs was the name=build13. After
changing this to the hostname bconsole did his job.

Still concerned about the process running under ?wrong? user. Hope there
will be not any other problems i can´t see yet.

 The lin-tape or lin_tape means the driver name of IBM ULTRIUM-HH5 tape

 Under this situation , it could write by tar command, but show write

 If I connect the tape drive to a machine of CentOS with right driver, it show

 So. I need some help. If anyone have any suggestion to help me install the

It should just work without using the special driver.  My LTO drives are IBM

What is your output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' or check dmesg for relevant

 Use FQDNs that return a different IP address for the SD depending on

Yep.  The crudest way being totally manual: Bacula is configured with 
bacula-sd.your.domain.com as the SD address and then each client has a local 
/etc/hosts entry that points to the appropriate IP for that client.

The dir connects to the fd and tells the fd to connect to the sd.  But it 
passes it the hostname, not the IP.

 and HP, our main supplier.
  From HP I've selected these libraries:

 - to have an autoloader system :-)
 - to be able to connect two director to the same library (a main Dir and 
 a backup one for HA)

Can you explain more what you want here?  Seems easier to have a cold
standby and swap the cable if the machine dies.

 - if possible, to have two tape reader in the library, due to make 
 speediest search operations
 - we have to use Centos 5.4 x64, so the library needs to be compatible 
 with it.
 
 Someone, from this ML, has bought a new tape library working with Linux 
 and mtx-changer?

I have used several Dell models and an IBM model and a SpectraLogic
model with Bacula.  As well as Overland and Quantum.

They were all LTO-based and very similar in spec and operation.

IMHO, you want LTO-4 today, not LTO-3.

On this list, we have not recently heard of any new libraries _not_
working with Bacula; I think there used to be many more problems back
in the day, but now things are better.  That MSL6030 looks good.

 Just that with only 1 drive, I need to have no jobs running in order to be

Are you sure the tape was loaded as you expect?

If you're worried about a lower-level problem, use 'mt -f /dev/nstX
status' and 'tapeinfo -f /dev/sgX' to see the status of the drive.

Then you can try something simple like 'dd if=/dev/st0 of=/dev/null'
to see if that causes any error.

Re: [Bacula-users] how to configure tls for SD to remote FD

[Alex Florescu]

Hi again,
After RTFM'ing for the past hours, I have been able to do the following:
- become a CA;
- create a .key and sign a .crt for the backup server (where the Director
and SD are);
- create a .key and sign a .crt for the remote client (where the FD is).
 
I have followed the instructions in
http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Bacula_TLS_Communications.html
but it is very unclear which .cert and .key is which. 
In what config do I point to the client's certificates and in what config do
I point to the server's certificates?
Remember, I need to encrypt traffic from the SD to FD and eventually from
DIR to FD.
 
Just point me to the right way to configure the DIR, SD and FD.
Thank you,
 
Alex F.
 
 
Hello,
 
I'm in need of some help with configuring tls encryption.
 
I've already read the manual but it isn't very clear.
 
I have the following setup:
Director + Storage on the backup server
File daemon on a remote machine
and I need to encrypt traffic from the File daemon to the Storage
daemon and eventually from the Director to the File daemon.
 
I will be signing my own certificates (so will not be using any other CA
out
there). Note that I do not have FQDNs.
 
In my endeavor I encountered the following error:
Fatal error: Failed to authenticate Storage daemon.
Fatal error: Bad response to Storage command: wanted 2000 OK storage, got
2902 Bad storage
so it would be best to start from scratch.
 
1.   Where do I need to place the TLS related syntax?
 
2.   When creating certificates I used the method described in
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#pki
and have the following: the CA.crt (which will be the same on both
machines),
the BackupDirector's .crt and .key (which should stay on the backup server)
and the
remote FileDaemon's .crt and .key (which will be on the remote FD). 
It is not clear to me how these relate. Also I read that the Common Name
should be a
FQDN that points to the remote FD.
This is again unclear to me, because I encounter 3 Common Name inputs along
the way: when creating CA, the server's key and the remote machine's key.
 
Please help. Thank you.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Building Bat + ActionOnPurge

[Alex Ehrlich]

Hello,

By no means was I going to upset or blame anybody. I just wanted to 
point out some weaknesses and shortcomings that currently exist and 
maybe to warm up some discussion -- what would benefit Bacula and its 
[even] wider adoption ;-). I see that the discussion has kind of 
started, although -- what a pity -- at the level of Thats not Bacula 
community problem and Windows sux (these quotes are not from Kern) :-(.

  Just some examples of documentation points that would be worth 
improving:
  ...
  Those are good points and would make good contributions.
Our company is currently working on some. But while I have set up 3 
production sites with Bacula backup so far I still don't know *good* 
answers for some of those questions -- and, consequently, cannot 
contribute (some other have been documented by now and are on the way to 
be added to howtos). Maybe I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed? 
Possibly, but who is the intended audience then?

  This is an Open Source project that counts on contributions from the 
community.
  ...
  All I can say is: what do you expect from a community project
I consider the project as having achieved very good results for an open 
source one (and for commercial one, too, actually). It is a really good 
backup system (after all, why would I implement it in production 
otherwise?). But most things in our life could be even better than they are.

  You apparently have not been reading what I have written about Bacula 
Systems.
I have. However, I believed that even providing support and 
consultancy would benefit from the list of potential issues that might 
negatively affect deployments -- *for example*, in larger AD 
environments; but this was just my opinion about mostly-windows-based 
environments. There are other people around that could list most 
critical points for some other tasks/environments; backing up Exchange 
is a great example of resent task/environment-focused development.

  undocumented /S option, which if it exists must be some NSIS 
installer supported option
Yes it's a NSIS option (some say that it is case sensitive) and I tried 
it and it worked for upgrade (not overwriting the existing 
bacula-fd.conf, that was very nice of it).

In configs, Rerun Failed Levels = yes, but no Reschedule set in job 
defaults.
Restarting bacula-dir resolves the problem (no more pseudo-running jobs 
in status dir).


In the status client and status dir output below, look at the job 9219.

Does anybody have an idea what's wrong?
